Hermite representation for integrals?

Suppose I want an expectation value of a harmonic oscillator wavefunction, then in what way will I write the Hermite polynomial of nth degree into the integral? I have a link of the representation, but don't know what to do with them? http://dlmf.nist.gov/18.3

Why do you need the explicit form inside the integral? Leaving just H_n (x) is more than enough.
 
This gives you the first few...

ok If I have a integral like $$\int_{-\inf}^{\inf}{z*x*y}$$

then can I write them seperately as:

$$\int_{-\inf}^{\inf}{z}*\int_{-\inf}^{\inf}{x}*\int_{-\inf}^{\inf}{y}$$

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
